FAIRFIELD UNIVERSITY ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 5 ATHLETICS ANNUAL REPORT 2008-09 1 Message from the Director of Athletics ver the last year or so, I have been doing some major renovations to my home. During that time, I have become quite Oadept at measuring things to make sure all the dimensions are accurate so that all the pieces fit properly in place. Because of this, I can wield a ruler, a yard stick, and a tape measure with great dexterity these days, which has helped to make things move along on schedule. While the daily changes are most times not noticeable, the “before and after” photos are dramatic. And, there are those interim stages where change becomes apparent. Like home improvement projects, college athletics can also be measured when it comes to success. Some years, the measurements of improvement are not noticeable because injuries, inexperience, or coaching changes can mask a team’s growth. But that “before and after” view can be dramatic because talent and experience come Director of Athletics Gene Doris presents Ahna together to create a championship season. Johnson ’09 with her MAAC Tournament MVP award. This year, I took that “after” photo which showed that Fairfield’s athletic success was boundless. Four teams won their respective Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference (MAAC) championship and advanced to the NCAA tournament in 2008-09, while several other teams garnered success by winning a regular- season conference championship. All these championships led Fairfield University to the coveted MAAC overall Commissioner’s Cup championship, which is given to the conference school with the best overall athletic success in a given year.
